or it may be glued to both the flaps and to the protecting member 26.

The function of this protecting member is to prevent disalignment of the tabs during assembly of the score card and to prevent any glue getting on the tabs. Since no material is removed when the tongues 2li are punched these tongues completely close the aperture when they are in the position shown in Fig. 5 so that glue does not pass through` the slits I9 into the interior ofthe score card. v

It will be noted that the tabs 23 are connected by a wide panel with the cover portion. In Y.

construction the distance from the edge 3l of the panel, Fig. 3, to the line viewing apertures I8 is greater than the distance from the edge.,3l to the fold line 32 where the tabs are folded on themselves. As a result in the finished card when the tabs are withdrawn any buckles which appear in the portion 33, as sho-wn in Fig. 7, will disappear before Vthis portion reaches l.the aperture I8 so that there will be no obliteration of indicia on the score card tabs.i

In use the score card is assembled as described and the operator pulls a tab, such as shown in Fig. 6, until the correctnumber appears in the aperture I8. The end of the tab is then torn olf flush with the side of the card. This leaves the free end of the tab disposed within the card but this free end passes through the slot 2 I, as shown in Fig. 9, and therefore the free end cannot move up and down being confined by the walls of this slotrso that possible movement of the tab with its'indicia is prevented.

From the foregoing description it will be apparent' that'I have provided a novel score card which is easy to operate, simple in construction and highly efcient in use.

l Having thus described my invention, I claim: 1. A score card comprising a body part having a plurality of movable tabs therein, each tab having numbers thereon, said body part having viewing aperturesA therein, each aperture being aligned with a tab, said'tabs being disposed'with their major portion within the body and with the ends projecting from the body and with the numbers so Varranged that as the tabis withdrawn the numbers'will be presented beneath the view- Aing apertures, the end of the tabslbeing adapted to'be torn off whereby the record may be prevented from being accidentally altered and means within the score card to prevent disalignment of the tabs with their respective apertures after the tabs are torn off.

2. A record card comprising a cover part having a plurality of tabs thereon, said tabs being folded so that one part thereof is superimposed on another part, said tabs being tearable and projecting beyond the side of the body part and having indiciathereon, said cover part having apertures therein', and said vtabs having char-Y spective apertures after the tabs are torn 01T.

1 3. A record card comprising a polygonal front portion having arplurality of apertures therein and a polygonal back portion united with the front portion along all edges thereof and having slitsV along one of the edges at the junction of the fronty and back portions and rupturable' recording tabs extending through said slits and having indicia thereon visible through said apertures, said record card having a slotted portion therein spaced inwardly from said slits, each tab extending through a slot in the slotted portion.

4. A blank for a record card comprising a cover portion having a plurality of tabs projecting from opposite sides thereof, said blank having sets of three aligned apertures along each side thereof, each set of apertures being disposed in line with a tab, there being a tongue closing the middle aperture of each set. J5'. The method of making a record card from a vblank including a body portion having tabs thereon which comprises making three apertures in lthe blank foreach tab, folding each tab upon itself, inserting the end of each tab first through one aperture and then through another aperture, then folding the sides of the body portion onto the remainder of the body portion, and securing a back to the body portion.

6. A score card comprising a cover portion having a filler therein, said filler comprising a plurality'of tabs, each of said tabs being bent on itself, said filler having apertures therein and the end of said tabs passing through said aperture, said cover having other apertures therein, said tabs passing through said other apertures and projecting beyond the edge of said cover and a back on said cover.

7. A score card comprising a cover portion having a plurality of tabs extending therefrom, said tabs being disposed to overlie the body portion, apertures in said body portion through which said tabs are visible, said tabs projecting at the edge of the score card, a protecting member overlapping said tabs' and a back secured to said Y having tabs projecting therefrom, a reenforcing strip extending along one edge` of said cover portion, a plurality of apertures in said cover portion, certain of said apertures also extending through said reenforcing strip, said cover portion being Vfolded with the line of fold disposed upon said reenforcing strip, said tabs being folded and extending through certain of said apertures and aback secured to said cover portion;

9. A score card comprising a cover portion having a plurality of tabs extending therefrom and having a flap along one side thereof, said flap being folded to overlie the body portion, apertures in said body portion through which said tabs are visible, tongues disposed in said flap,

said tongues defining apertures, said tabs extending through said last mentioned apertures and a cover secured to said flap and to said tongues whereby the tongues are held in line with the adjacent material of theaps.

10. Al score card comprising a body part having a panel at one side, said panel being folded to overlap the body part, a plurality of movable tabs projecting from said panel, each tab having numbersthereon, ,said bOdy part h ving viewing aperturesV therein, each `aperture icing aligned with a tab, said tabs being folded on themselves to provide two tab thicknesses disposed within the body and the numbers being so arranged that as theV tab islwithdrawn the numbers will be presented beneath the viewing apertures, the end of the tab being adaptedto be torn offv whereby the record may be prevented from being accidentally altered.
